Form I-9 expiration date extended to 2027
August 6, 2024
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has updated the Form I-9 with a new expiration date of 05/31/2027 and is giving employers almost two years to switch to the latest version of the form.
Through July 31, 2026, employers can use either the Form I-9 with an expiration date of 07/31/2026 or 05/31/2027. After July 31, 2026, only the form with the 05/31/2027 expiration date will be compliant.
The USCIS released the new version on August 2, 2024. The agency is encouraging employers to update their electronic Form I-9 systems now and to begin using the updated form as soon as possible.
Nothing else new on latest Form I-9 update
The expiration date in the upper right corner of the form is the only thing that has changed on the 05/31/2027 version. All other fields on the form remain the same.
Last summer the agency made significant changes to the form, which must be completed for all new hires. It was slimmed down to one page and the option for remote review of employee documents was added.
This year’s change only involves the expiration date. Employers can download the latest version of the form from the USCIS I-9 website.
Key to remember: Employers can start using latest version of the Form I-9 immediately and are required to use the new version after July 31, 2026.
